Separating the Media

Separate the media with Sheet Cutting after printing. Alternatively, perforate the media without separating it with Perforated Sheet Cutting.

Before using Sheet Cutting or Perforated Sheet Cutting, check that the left and right media clamps are attached correctly.

MEMO

Check that the left media clamp is positioned correctly above the media.

If it is not positioned correctly, uncut areas may remain on the media or the media may be jammed due to it getting caught in the machine.

    • Some types of media may remain on the platen after separation. If the media remains on the platen, remove it by hand.
